Dear Zion Families, 

And we’re off and running! A new School Year is actually underway! I know that after yesterday, those of you trying to manage your older kids with e-learning adds one more stressor to the mix! And every little symptom our kids get makes us jittery and hoping that it’s not something more serious than a simple cold or back-to-school sniffle. Let me tell you that things at Zion are going great! The kids are doing great! They’re learning and having fun and they do a wonderful job of adapting to things like masks and taking turns on the play equipment during recess. In the midst of all this chaos, Jesus’ words come to mind: “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” Around all that we do, all that we deal with, and all that stresses us, our Lord is with us. He is watching over us and caring for us. He listens to our cries for help and being overwhelmed. He sends the Spirit to grant us peace and patience as we deal with everything going on. I know that He will continue to bless our year and our little ones as they learn and grow in His love. Thank you for being a part of the Zion family! 

— In Christ, Pastor Buetow

 

SEPTEMBER TUITION DUE TODAY

The first month’s tuition is due TODAY. Also by now, all Registration fees should be paid and all paperwork turned in. If you have any questions, please talk to Brandy in the Office. REMINDER: Tuition is considered late on the 1st of the month and a $15 Late Fee will be added. 

CHURCH MEMBERS: Remember that you must attend at least three services per month to maintain your Member Discount. If you have any questions about this or are unable to do so, please speak with Pastor. If you are interested in becoming a member of Zion, please speak with Pastor.


DOES YOUR CHILD HAVE SYMPTOMS?

Not every symptom means Covid! But there are many symptoms of common illnesses that someone with Covid could also show. Please be alert for the following: Loss of taste/smell, Fever, Cough, shortness of breath/difficulty breathing,  chills, headache, nausea/vomiting, congestion/runny nose, sore throat, diarrhea, body/muscle aches, fatigue, or abdominal pain. 

If your child has ANY of those symptoms, please keep them home until they have been SYMPTOM FREE FOR 24 HOURS. That usually means an extra day away from school beyond the day they are feeling better. If in doubt, keep your child at home, notify the Office, and consult your doctor. Thank you for your extra vigilance and cooperation in keeping illness out of school!

Spirit Wear: Show your school pride. Kids get a special prize for wearing purple or Zion Lion Spirit wear on Fridays. This year, we also have MASKS available in Youth and Adult sizes. Due date is September 11. You can ORDER ONLINE.

Mums: Countryside Nursery Mums are spectacular flowers. Pre-Order price is just $10. Due date is August 27.

PARKING LOT RESURFACING

We will soon be moving ahead with the resurfacing of our parking lot! Work is expected to begin in the next few weeks. Please keep an eye out for information on Drop Off and Pick Up when that project is underway. It should only take about three days.
